Servings: 4
Prep Time: n/a
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ingredients
4 teaspoons Olive Oil, divided
3/4 cups Chicken Broth, divided
4 thighs Chicken - Thigh, boneless, skinless
3/4 teaspoon Seasoning - Salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon Seasoning - Black Pepper, divided
2 Teaspoons Cornstarch
1/4 Cup (chopped and toasted) Walnuts
1 Leek, thinly sliced
1 (peeled and diced) Pear
2 Tablespoons Jelly - Currant
Cooking Directions
1. Place sliced leek in a colander; rinse and drain well.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown and soften, about 2 minutes. Add pear and 1/4 cup broth; simmer until the pear is soft and the broth is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup broth and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add currant jelly to the pan and cook, stirring, until melted. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn to coat with sauce. Serve sprinkled with walnuts.
